50 Cent: ‘Weight Loss Was Mental’
Posted by Adam
RAPPER 50 Cent admits losing weight for his role in movie Things Fall Apart was “mental”.
The In Da Club hitmaker — who plays a cancer-stricken football player in the upcoming film — went from 214 pounds to 160 to prepare for the part, and insists it didn’t come easy.
“I went from 214 to 160. I was on a liquid diet for nine weeks. I was in Baku, [Azerbaijan], and I ran from the airport to the hotel,” said the star, whose real name is Curtis Jackson.
“I was doing a lot of treadmill running, but it’s mental. When you get on the street, you could run. On the treadmill, you start thinking about the time.
“If you got the same music playing, it gets difficult after a while. You gotta have something to distract you.”
